Chapter - 3 - Picking Up Kairi

Emmett's POV

When I heard that Bella's husband was the one responsible I was taken by surprise. How could someone do this to the one that they claim to love? Did he really love her? Did she really love him? The thought that someone touch my sister in this way just raised the anger I already had even more. Even though we left to protect her she will always be my little sis. I didn't care who they think they were no one messes with my family and Bella will always be part of my family.

All I could think about was how I was going to make the guy pay for all the pain he put Bella through and I will make sure that he goes through the worse pain he could ever imgaine.

When we finally got to the front desk we saw a man arguing with the lady behind the desk demanding to take Bella. There was no way that we were going to let him near her. Not after what we already heard that he had done to her. Jasper and I grabbed each arm and started pulling him outside not saying a word.

"Well take care of him miss." Edward told the lady.

"Thank you." She said with relief.

We pulled the guy into a near by ally way. So we could have a few words with him alone with no one around. But I just wanted to rip his head off and same with Edward and Jasper, you could tell by the look in their eyes. He was yelling at us but we ignored him till we reached the alley way.

Edward's POV

When we got the guy, whose name I still did not know, into the ally I figure we would start with the basic question. "Who are you?" I ask I didn't care to hide my anger anymore.

"John Smith, the husband of Isabella Smith. I am here to take her home. Who are you? And why have you drug me out here?" He didn't look scared or have any care in the world on what was about to happen if he answered wrong to any questions. In fact he acted like he had done nothing wrong.

" I am Edward Cullen." I answered back. "What did you do to Bella?" How bad I want to just kill him but I knew that if I did it would turn for the worse.

"Oh so you're the Edward that left Bella about two years ago." He looked at me with a slight smile.

"Why is she here in the hospital?" I asked more pissed because he was ignoring my question.

" I don't know. I got worried when she didn't return home from going to the store. When I drove to the store to make sure she was alright I saw her truck here. You see I love Bella I would never touch her. I care about her more then anyone else in the world. Something must have happened to her and that's why I am here." I couldn't believe that this guy was claiming to love Bella more then I. I knew that was not possible. No man could love Bella more than me. He is also lying about hurting her. He doesn't realize she has told us what happened.

"How could you stand there and say how much you love someone, when you are the one that put them in the hospital?" I was in John's face now barely holding onto my control.

"I wasn't the one that put her here actually." he sneered realizing we must know he was the one that hurt her. "If you would have never left then I would have never gotten a hold of her and her daughter. And Bella wouldn't be in the hospital right now." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"You couldn't possible love her. If you did then why leave her. If you really think about it you are the real one that put her here." wincing as his words struck a guilty cord inside me as I myself have thought this same thing. She would never have been hurt by this parasite had I not have left because we would have been together and I would never have let anything or anyone hurt her. Wait did he say daughter? Bella has a daughter? That was news to me. All the words that John had said hit me right in my dead heart. I couldn't stand to look at him.

"Oh, I see you didn't know she had a daughter. Yea Kairi, she is quiet beautiful. Looks just like her mother. Although, I am sure that when I train her well in her upbringing she will be much more obedient and better behaved then Bella." I tensed as I realized what he meant. He would beat on her too until she became the slave he was trying to make Bella become. This I swear I will never let happen. This little girl although part of John is still very much a part of my Love and I will protect her as well as Bella. I will not allow anyone to hurt Bella's daughter or her ever again. I am here to stay, I can see were my mistakes and selfishness was in the past and I do learn from my mistakes. I could hear Jasper and Emmett growl as they to began to understand what his words meant.

"You stay away from Bella and her daughter before something horrid happens to you. This I will promise you, if you so much as come near them it will be your death." I turned to jasper and Emmett. "Lets go."

They both looked at me surprised as they let go of John and he almost tripped backwards. You cant be serious that your letting him get off that easily. If you don't do something I am going to this will not go unpunished Edward. Emmett's thoughts reached mine.

"In time Emmett in time." I said reassuringly.

We went back into the hospital's waiting room where the rest of the family was. I turned to Alice, I knew she wanted to see Bella. "When is Bella going to wake?"

" Any minute." she answered jumping up and down while clapping her hands then suddenly stopped.

You will not stop me from seeing her and I don't care what you say you don't own her and I will not listen to you. YOU are not forgiven by me for what you made us do. She thought to me. She has been wanting to see Bella for so long that I would not be able to hold her back very much longer. But I had to know about Kairi and I had to get her here with my family so they could protect her from John. I don't trust him one bit and the sooner she is here safe with us the better.

"Ok…But before anyone goes in there, there is one thing that I need to talk to Bella about." Everyone looked at me with confused eyes. I needed to know how she wanted to deal with John or if we could just take care of him and make him disappear. I just wasn't sure since she had a child with him. Certainly she wouldn't want to go back. I will convince her of my love for her and the mistake I made in trying to protect her from our kind by leaving and insist she stay with us. Alice nodded at me with wide eyes and a smile spread across her face as she had a vision of what I wanted to talk to Bella about and suddenly she blocked me. That's odd she would want to block me at this point. Before I walked into Bella's room I turned to Rosalie. "And Rosalie can I ask you to do something? It is important and you have to hurry."

"Yea?" She was surprised but I knew she would have been more then happy once I told her. She always fought her need to want to bear children and I knew she would love to help with Bella's daughter as she longs to have a child of her own. I also knew she wouldn't let anyone hurt one hair on her head as long as Rose was with her.

"I need you to go get Kairi, she is Bella's daughter and I need you to hurry before her husband gets a hold of her first. I am not sure where she is at but my best guess would be to try Charlie's first." I saw the light in her face grow. "And take Emmett with you just in case and I am sure Emmett will enjoy playing with her.

"You can count on us. We will be back before you know it." They left without another word. With that I turned around and walked into Bella's room.

Rosalie's POV

Bella has a daughter? I didn't know that. Then again I don't think anyone knew. Edward had ask me to go get Kairi and to bring Emmett with me just incase this husband of Bella's tries to take her. I swear he wont get within 10 yards of her. I will put my life on it. Chuckling to myself at the thought of this human even trying to hurt me.

When Emmett and I showed up at Charlie's house we saw an additional vehicle parked in front. Listening in to the conversation inside the house to try to see who it was we realized Bella's husband had already gotten there. We could hear Charlie and John yelling. Charlie refused let John take Kairi. We walked into the already opened door to the house. Emmett growling at a level only I could hear.

"Charlie?" I said to get his attention.

"Rosalie, Emmett. Thank god. Get this man out of my house." Charlie was holding onto Kairi with dear life. Anger swept through me as I saw John was trying to take Kairi from Charlie.

"I would suggest you step away from the both of them NOW!!!" Snarling in a deep low voice trying hard to control myself but was rapidly losing the battle. If he so much as touches that beautiful little girl he will be laying dead on Charlie's floor before anyone can blink and we would be exposed. I cant let that happen.

Through gritted teeth as though holding myself back I said "Emmett"

As though he was holding himself back barely and awaiting my permission he started to step forward.

"I think you should leave before this turns really ugly, John." Emmett turned to Bella's husband. John? That must be his name one I will make sure to remember till his death. Of which I am sure will come that I will promise. Even if I have to do it when no one suspects and make it an accident. Men should not get away with abusing women.

"What are you going to do about it?" He turned planting his feet apart and crossing his arms against his chest.

"You should have not said that, but I am glad you did." Emmett walked over to John and picked him up by his collar with just his toes dragging over the ground and took him outside.

While they were outside I took this chance to tell Charlie why we came.

"Charlie we came to get Kairi. Bella asked us to come pick her up and take her to the hospital so she can see her." I explained. Charlie just looked at me as if he was unsure to believe me or even trust me. Why didn't Edward just send Alice to do this. She would have no problem, Charlie always loved Alice.

"Bella called me and told me to keep her here with me and safe. She must have known John would come here looking for her and was scared for her." he replied tightening the hold on his granddaughter.

"Charlie you can trust me. And this will give you the chance to arrest John." I replied. Just then Kairi pulled her head up from Charlie's chest to look at me and for the first time I could see her face. She was in fact beautiful. Wait, she doesn't look like John at all. In fact the more I look at her she didn't seem like a normal human.

Stepping closer to her with a smile on my face as not to scare her with my approach I asked. "How old is she?"

"She is about a year and half" Charlie replied relaxing a little.

Looking at Charlie I said. "Let me take Kairi to Bella so she can relax, she is banged up pretty badly at the hospital and is worried and wants to see her daughter. John needs to be arrested and I believe you can take care of that. We will get you pictures of Bella as soon as we get back so you can have the evidence to charge him"

"That sounds like a good idea. I will take him to the station and book him and call the hospital to check on Bella." he said as he began to hand Kairi over to me.

"Please let Bella know I have him in custody and that I love her" he said as he kissed his granddaughter on the forehead.

As I walked toward the door I turned around and said, "I will Charlie and Thank you."

Emmett's POV

One word…one word… that's all I need. Come on Rose let me at him I need to make him pay. I thought as I was trying with all I could to hold back from ripping this guy apart.

"Emmett" I heard Rose say. YES!!!! Freedom to inflict pain. THANK YOU Rose I thought as I began to step towards John. You are so going to pay.

"I think you should leave before this turns really ugly, John." I told him with anticipation in my voice. OH please… Please don't agree with me. I had to keep up some pretence of humanness for Charlie's sake which is hard to do with this slime in front of me.

"What are you going to do about it?" John said with a smirk on his face. YES today is my lucky day. Ill have to remember the date and try it at the lottery!!!

"You should not have said that." I picked John up and took him or more like dragged him outside. No one disrespects my family.

When I took him outside I dropped him right in the grass and towered over him. When he stood up he looked at me. And said, "So you think that you're a tough guy huh, just because you can carry me and drop me on the lawn. Oh I am scared now. Like you will do anything in front of the Chief of Polices house, he would arrest you."

"If I ever hear…" He cut me off.

"Hear what? That I beat her again? What are you going to do about it?" He really didn't think that I would do anything. What is with all these women abusing cowards, all talk. He did not know what he was asking for. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt with one hand and lifted him off the ground feet and all. His eyes got wide.

"I will tear you to pieces and that is a promise." Good finally he is showing some fear. I dropped him and again he fell to the ground only harder this time. Hmmm, what to do first.

As he was getting to his feet he said, " You can't keep her from me. She is my wife. I own her. She belongs to me." He owns her? Who the hell does he think he is? He makes Bella sound like a toy. Just something to play with.

My rage started to really take over and just seemed to keep rising. I was always known as the goof ball but when it comes to my family and people thinking they can treat them the way John has treated Bella, I don't fuck around. I will put an end to it. My family comes before me.

I could not say anything for if I did I would have exposed my whole family to the world. I could however do this…..grabbing John by the collar again I tossed him to the woods and he hit his back against a tree. I saw him start to crumble down the tree to the ground with the breath knocked out of him and head swaying. Sorry buddy but I am not through with you yet I thought as I started towards him.

"Emmett lets go now." Rosalie sternly said as she walked out of the house with Kairi in her arms. Damn. Just a few more minutes. Looking back at John and starting to take a step towards him again I heard Rose.

"NOW!" I heard her say as she finished putting Kairi in the car seat in the back of my Jeep.

Sighing I turned to John's crunched up figure and said. "I am not done with you yet" and walked towards my Jeep.

As Rose got into the Jeep after putting Kairi in the car seat she looked like she had something on her mind.

"what is it Rose" I asked carefully.

She looked at me then said. "Smell"

I took a sniff expecting to smell the scent of a small human child but what drifted into my nose wasn't a normal smell.

"Well" Rose said.

"Hmm, that's odd." I replied.

Frustrated at my lack of response rose asked. "Tell me what you smell."

"She smells like Bella but…." I was confused at what I was smelling.

"But" Rose pushed.

"It's as though Bella's scent is mixed with Edwards" I said confused.

"I knew it" Rose replied as though she guessed a right answer on an important test.

"How is that possible Rose. She hasn't been around Edward that we know of and its like its her own scent."

"I don't know but we need to find out. I have a suspicion but I want to talk to Carlisle first and see what Bella has to say about what has happened to her since we left." Rose said.

I had my own suspicions about our last night in Forks before leaving Bella. I always thought there was something more that Edward wasn't telling us and I think the proof is sitting in the back seat. Although I don't know how it is possible, but as I looked more at the little girl in the rear view mirror I realized that even though she had Bella's hair she has some very strong facial features that are not Bella's. In fact, they are strikingly familiar to someone in my family. I think our dear old Eddie boy is hiding something from the rest of us. This is awesome!!! I will never let him live this down.

My last spoken words in the jeep to Rose were. "I don't think our Eddie is a virgin anymore" chuckling to myself Rose just replied saying we need to talk to Carlisle and to keep this between us until we get a chance to talk to him.

How on earth does she expect that. I have to tease him, its in my nature. I thought as we pulled up to the hospital.
